<h1>Boost Mailing Lists</h1>
<p>The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community.&nbsp; You may read
the lists via full-content email, email digests, or online via a web browser.</p>
<p>The <a
href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost">main list</a>
and its <a href="http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost">archives</a>
are maintained at the Open Systems Lab at Indiana University. The
other lists are maintained via the <a
href="http://www.yahoogroups.com">YahooGroups</a> mailing list
service.&nbsp; See their <a
href="http://help.yahoo.com/help/groups/">Help</a> pages for general
support information.</p>
<h2><a name="main">Boost</a> mailing list (also available via newsgroup)</h2>
<p>This is the main Boost mailing list.&nbsp; It is high volume (over 1000
messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward Boost library
developers. It is also read by many other members interested in watching the
Boost library development process.&nbsp; Virtually all Boost decisions, major or
minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public discussion on this mailing
list.&nbsp; It is where the formal reviews of proposed libraries take place.

<p>When we talk about the &quot;members of Boost&quot;, we are talking about
those signed up for this main mailing list.</p>
<p>For those who prefer to participate via an NNTP (<a name="newsgroup">newsgroup</a>) interface, a
gateway to the Boost mailing list is available at
<a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel">
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel</a>. Postings to the newsgroup
will only be accepted for the mailing list if from a
<a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost">subscribed</a> email
address.</p>
<p>For this list's members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are
available from the YahooGroups <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/">Files
section</a> (formerly called the &quot;vault&quot;).</p>
<h2>Boost <a name="users">Users</a> mailing list</h2>
<p>This list is oriented toward casual users of the Boost libraries.&nbsp; Feel
free to post both &quot;newbie&quot; and more challenging questions.&nbsp; This
list is relatively low volume (less than 100 per month).&nbsp; Subscribe or unsubscribe
at the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Boost-Users">Boost Users list home page</a>.</p>
<h2>Boost <a name="announce">Announce</a> mailing list</h2>
<p>This is an announce-only list for notification of upcoming software releases
and formal reviews of proposed libraries. One to three messages per month.&nbsp;
Subscribe or unsubscribe at the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost-announce">Boost
Announce list home page</a>.</p>
